The dark street was barren and void of all human activity due to the late hour. The crash of thunder rumbled in the distance as the rolling cloud above churned restlessly but released no rain. Practically no one was up at this time of night. A small puddle lay silent and still like the alleyway and deserted suburbs it was in. However, this puddle was suddenly and violently disturbed by Kaito Shion as he tore through the alleyway at breakneck speeds. Kaito was running faster than he had in his entire life. His speed only matched the terror he was feeling as he ran through that alley, running for his life.
Against his better judgment, he looked behind him. The sight behind him nearly made his mechanical heart nearly stop. The purple haired, red eyed monster was still RIGHT behind him. Despite the fact that Kaito could be giving some of the top Olympic sprinters a run for their money, somehow Taito Shion kept up with him every step.
"TAITO! I'M SORRY!" Kaito screamed for what he guessed must have been the 10th time that night. This apology only made the insanely wide grin on Taito's features grow wider.
"I know you are Kaito! It's okay! I forgive you!" Taito said, the knife he had been using to cut cake with earlier that night, still glistening in his hand. "That's why you need to hold still! If you move too much this will hurt! I love you Kaito! Please stop running~! I love you! I love you!"
Kaito wasn't sure which was scarier. The fact that Taito said all of that with a KNIFE in his hands, or the fact that Taito was saying he was going to KILL him with affection in his voice.
"TAITO! STOP!" Kikaito's voice rang far behind them.
"OH GOD! KAITO! RUN!" Akaito's voice followed Kikaito's, but it sounded even further away than Kikaito. His family was too late. Kaito and Taito were nearly 3 blocks away from their home, traveling faster and faster as thing got more desperate.
As Kaito watched, Taito got closer and closer to him. He didn't understand how either of them could run this fast. Was this truly going to be his last night in the land of the living?
Kaito yelled in shock as he spent too much time looking behind him and tripped on a curb he hadn't seen. He tumbled to the cold stone ground painfully. He skidded forward and came to halt in front of a chain-link fence. Kaito looked up terrified at the fence. Even if he hadn't stumbled he would have been faced with this dead end anyway.
Kaito didn't have time to think now. He had to get away! He made to scramble to his feet, but Taito was already upon him. As Kaito got to his knees, Taito tackled him back to the ground. With both of his legs straddling Kaito's back, Taito giggled insanely with his eyes a glowing bright red. He raised the cake knife over his head, and his grinned stretched wider than was humanly possible.
"I love you." He said one final time, bringing the cake knife down to the back of Kaito's head.
Kaito's whole world froze at that moment as his life flashed before his eyes.
He wished it had not come to this.
This was all his fault.
How he wished he could just undo everything...
